From Hostility to Reconciliation | Matt Beasley
Ephesians 2:14–18 — "He himself is our peace." Christ tears down the dividing wall and makes two into one. Lead Pastor Matt Beasley continues A Study Through Ephesians at Severns Valley.
The Ephesian church had real fractures — Jewish-background and pagan-background believers who distrusted one another. Paul's answer is Christ Himself: by His death He breaks down the wall of hostility and creates "one new man in place of two," reconciling us both to each other and to God.
A few things to carry into your week:
- Christ doesn't just make peace — He is our peace, and the solution to the fractures every church carries.
- The dividing wall of hostility came down at the cross; two are made one new man.
- Reconciliation runs in two directions at once — to God, and to one another.
- Being reconciled to God isn't a series of right things; it's one thing: "Jesus, save me."
"Is there a wall of hostility Christ has already torn down that you're still holding up?"
